ok ive attached the OTScanit log and followed all of your instructions... i still see a blue screen in the back round underneath my wallpaper... when i go in and out of programs i sometimes see it flicker and its the same blue screen and all my icons have a blue backround in the name underneath the icons, instead of the text right over the wallpaper....

Once you install the Recovery Console, when you reboot your computer, you'll see the option for the Recovery Console now as well. Don't select Recovery Console as we don't need it. By default, your main OS is selected there. The screen stays for 2 seconds and then it proceeds to load Windows. That is normal.

Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that, along with a new HijackThis log.

hi essex, umm i tried using combofix on my computer but it wont finish... It stops at a certain number... and it doesnt finish...ive given it like 20 min to just move 1 number but its frozen there... now my computer is a bit slower then normal, what should i do... by the way i dont have my windows xp recovery console admin password...

Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.

The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.

When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)

The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note:If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.
